Special Events
Charity Week
As Muslims, it is very important for us to do charity and Charity Week is a perfect opportunity for us students to get involved and give back. This is an international campaign run by Islamic Relief where Islamic societies, such as GUMSA, host a variety of fundraising events to raise money for orphans around the world. Events include bake sales, bucketing, movie nights and many others.
Iftar Dinner
The GUMSA Iftar is an opportunity to bring the students and the wider community together to break fast during the blessed month of Ramadan. The dinner involved fundraising for a worthy cause and Islamic reminders from local scholars.
Islamic Awareness Week
This is a national campaign where Islamic societies perform dawah on campus so we are able to effectively spread the beautiful message of Islam to students and faculty. For the duration of the week, we host a variety of free events which encourage equality and diversity, interfaith dialogue and expand relationships with other religious groups on campus. This is achieved through events such as socials, panel discussion, revert talks and our annual Interfaith Dinner which attracts 250 people annually.
